August reading

I sort of stalled again last month, I think the total's so low because it took me a lot longer than I expected to get through the Winchester book.

• Western Swing, Tim Sandlin. A friend mentioned this guy to me, and when I saw several of his books at the Green Valley Book Fair I decided to pick one up and check him out. This was hysterical (if you like your humor on the dark side, that is). I think I'll be reading more of his books once I get through some of the pile I have waiting for me already.
  
• Gorky Park, Martin Cruz Smith. Finished this one in a couple of evenings in hotel rooms, and have Polar Star sitting on the shelf to be read soon. Arkady Renko is a great character; given the elapsed time between some of the installments in the series (Amazon says eight years between the first and second, another eight between three and four), I'm glad I waited as long as I did to get started on this series so that I can avoid the frustration of having finished one book and then having a long wait for the next several.
  
• The Map That Changed the World: William Smith and the Birth of Modern Geology, Simon Winchester. For me, it alternated between "this is really fascinating stuff" and "you could be a little more melodramatic, but I'm not sure how; can I skip ahead?" I didn't dislike it, but I didn't love it either; I guess that's why it took me two weeks to finish it.
  

Is that really it? I feel sure there must've been one more at least, before Western Swing, but I can't remember what it was right now.
